The Utopian World before those pesky consoles and 16 bits came on the scene.

Actually there's an ad for the NES in the same issue and mention of the Master System being distributed by Mastertronic, but in Ireland anyway and assume it was similar in the UK? those two didn't make much of an impact.

It's sad to see a list of decent, cheap games that you could buy, sell and trade freely; particularly when the cynical, marketed-to-fuck XBone will soon restrict your ability own anything.

It's something that definitely annoys me, not that I'd be particularly interested in getting a next generation console, but the fact that it's highly likely that you won't be able to play the games you paid for, say 10 years down the line (and probably a lot less than that), would make me run a mile from a purchase.

It's also very bad from an archivist / historical point of view. Adding to the black hole of digital content that already exists.... or doesn't as the case may be.
